6z GFS precip through hour 192, for what it's worth. Not too bad looking, although almost all of the rain comes from scattered shower/thunderstorm activity, so some places will see higher amounts while others will barely see rain over the next week.

Hopefully it is not a repeat of last year. I was under water restrictions for quite awhile. Even though I was bummed the hurricane took down 3 of my trees, it vastly improved the drought situation. Fortunately the rain last week and the thundershowers today and tomorrow will help a bit.

With today's storm and the next week rain, it's becoming safe to say goodbye to any long-term drought potential. That doesn't say that more of a short term drought won't persist in parts of the region, however.

If I hear someone talk about water restrictions again, i'm going to throw a bucket of water on them..........
